Abstract

The study aimed to understand the concept of family culture, identify the levels and dimensions of family culture in Palestine, as well as to recognize the reality of autism spectrum disorder in Palestine. Moreover, it aimed to understand how cultural interaction within the family affects the response of children with autism spectrum disorder to therapeutic interventions, and to propose a suggested framework for enhancing family culture in diagnosing autism spectrum disorder. The study adopted the descriptive-analytical approach according to the qualitative analysis model of the reality of family culture and autism spectrum disorder through relevant reports, statistics, and related studies. Among the most important findings of the study are: the family's role in positive family upbringing for children with autism spectrum disorder, understanding the proper upbringing skills for autistic children. It was found that there is a relationship between family culture and the treatment of autism spectrum disorder. Family culture is considered the foundation for diagnosing and treating children with autism spectrum disorder, by clarifying its role and responsibilities in dealing with autistic children, through finding creative solutions to communicate with the child, creating new alternatives to understand his behaviors, and engaging him in family activities, and interaction with others.

Abstract

This study sought to identify the effect of using alternative evaluation in improving educational outcomes. (Cognitive, psychological, skill) for university courses for students (the scientific research methodology course as a model). To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers used the quasi-experimental method. The sample of the study consisted of (40) students enrolled in the course of scientific research methods at Al- Istiqlal University. They were distributed randomly into two groups: the experimental group used the alternative evaluation. However, the control group used traditional evaluation. The results of the study showed that there is an effect of using the alternative evaluation in improving the educational outcomes (cognitive, psychological, and skills) of the experimental group students. In light of these results, the researchers recommended a review of current evaluation practices that use traditional tests. In addition, there is a need to amend the regulations and instructions regulating the evaluation policy in accordance with the university's modernization and developing in line with modern strategies for evaluation, and the use of alternative evaluation tools in evaluating students' work in university courses.

Abstract

Culturo-Techno-Contextual Approach (CTCA) is a culturally responsive teaching strategy that empowers African students to learn science meaningfully in the digital age. CTCA integrates culture, technology, and locational context to enhance students' comprehension of scientific concepts. This study examined the effectiveness of CTCA in reducing students learning anxiety towards science concept. A pretest-posttest, non-equivalent group design was adopted. The sample comprised 121 senior secondary II students (equivalent to grade 11) from two purposively selected schools in Lagos State. The Nutrition Anxiety Scale, which had a reliability coefficient of 0.70, was used data collection. The treatment period lasted four weeks following the pretest. The experimental group was taught using the CTCA, while the control group received conventional lecture-based instruction. The results revealed that those students who were taught using the culturo-techno-contextual approach had a significantly lower level of anxiety than the comparison group [F (1, 198) = 16.54; p < 0.05]. A statistically significant difference was not found based on gender [F(1,49)=.49; P >0.05]. Therefore, within the limitations of this study, it was concluded that CTCA is an effective teaching approach for lowering anxiety towards science. It is recommended that CTCA be adopted in teaching scientific concepts.
